What To Expect

Route 66

After departing the Phoenix metro area, our tour travels through the expansive Sonoran Desert filled with the native saguaro cactus. The scenery begins to change as we increase in elevation and views of the cactus fade into pine trees. As we continue further into Northern Arizona, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff and from the highway, see the San Francisco Peaks among the seemingly endless Ponderosa Pine Forest, the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pines in the world.

Williams Depot

Williams will be our first stop along the tour for a chance to experience Route 66, the iconic American highway steeped in rich tradition. While in Williams, guests will have the opportunity to “get their kicks on Route 66” with walks along the original route, explore the local shops and capture souvenir photos highlighting a bygone era in classic American history. Also known as the Will Rodgers Highway, Route 66 is the most recognizable road in the United States and stretched 2,448 miles from Chicago to California upon completion.

Grand Canyon South Rim

You’ll experience approximately three hours within the National Park marveling at the beauty that is the Grand Canyon. You will be driven to viewpoints as well as have free time to walk to various viewpoints and points of interest. Visit the historic El Tovar Lodge, Hopi House, Mather Point or Yavapai Point, the Geology Museum and more incredible viewpoints! While at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park, you will have opportunities to walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited number of photographs, or enjoy lunch (own expense) and relax with the best seat in the house.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

My first tour trip and enjoyed it so much. Brendan was a great driver and tour guide. Went through Sedona and Williams and into the Grand Canyon. Brenden took all the pictures of us that we wanted. Had a great homemade lunch that was picked up on the way and kept fresh in a cooler. Weather was nice going there and while we explored, but did run into some heavy snow coming back. Brenden drove like a professional. Look forward to my next visit to Phoenix and take a different tour.

Cam was our tour guide and he added greatly to the overall experience. He was very passionate about sharing historical facts and information about the local wildlife including the complex ecco systems that exist in the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas. I have been on many tours around the globe but this sits at the top. Don't live with regret, book this tour now.

We are so happy that we selected this tour. Our guide Lewis was a retired teacher and was so knowledgable about Native Americans, Geology, Astrology and Phoenix. He was on time and our experience was just wonderful. I highly recommend it, try for Tuesday/Thursday. I think his name was Lewis. He's the retired teacher. It was a little foggy when we arrived, but we did see the Canyon before we departed. We needed more time in Sedona, but I understand we were on a schedule.
